Welcome to the weekend! 01-08-2021

What 2020 taught me:

Mental health counseling is self-care. Hormone balancing is crucial to my health. How to be a better listener. How to slow down. How to unfollow social media accounts that don’t inspire me. How to pursue my hobbies. Patience. I am stronger than I thought! I am a good writer. If I don’t stand up for myself no one else will. I am enough. It’s ok to cry...a lot! I love Monopoly! Never stop learning new skills. I can follow my dreams and so can you!

KC Restaurant Week Begins today! January 8-17th. Dine-in, carry-out or delivery! Yay! This event has always been the perfect way to try new restaurants AND support your community! Restaurant owners and the industry need our support now more than ever!

Chicken Spiedini with Amogio sauce - I made this week! The sauce! Would also be excellent on grilled or baked fish!

Mason Jars with wooden lids - my kitchen needs these! They would look so pretty sitting on my countertops!

January color-of-the-month I can think of so many ways to use this color!

Classic Chicken Pot Pie - the ultimate comfort food!

This list of must-haves from Aldi intrigued me.

Up YOUR game!

I have upgraded all of my baking pans. I love USA PAN! I bought sheet pans, pie pans and bread loaf pans. Non stick! Winning!

Do you have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen? PSA!! You need one! Mine is mounted on the wall in my pantry and in our garage. Find a place that is close to your kitchen :-)

Enjoy your weekend! I’m going to make bagels, try something new in my Instapot, and get outside!
